The drink line-up at Rico's is as friendly as the staff. We have daily Happy Hour Specials including The Rico's signature Rough Riders brew, HD TVs for sports viewing. The bar program also includes a wide selection of tequila and margaritas.Rico's, which is located adjacent to the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak, is named after a now-defunct 1900s Mercury mine. The restaurant pays tribute to the community's mining history with its mining artifacts and decorum.

Hands down the server my group of 6 has was awesome. Even though we had reservations we had to wait for 10 minutes for our table. We ordered right away and apps came out pretty quickly. Spinach artichoke dip was amazing and how the prepare the pits to go with made the dish. Calamari was average. The food over all was average for the price of the dishes which is where the 3 star review comes in.

The potatoes with the spareribs were horrible they tasted like cleaning solution!! My daughter ordered the scallops and left hungry, such a small portion of food. They should really serve bread with the meal at this price level!!

We've eaten here before and had good experiences, but this time there was extremely long wait for food; two orders were "forgotten to be put in" and brought to the table after everyone else was done eating. Desserts took so long that our 5 year old fell asleep waiting. Hoping this was just a really "off " night for the restaurant.

I have several things to comment on regarding our visit:#1 - they claim to be a farm-to-Table and locally sourced restaurant... Nothing we were served seemed fresh or was listed as local on the menu and nowhere do they publish what local farms they use.

#2 - they have a very nice seasonal Fall themed menu posted on Open Table. The menu looked good which is why we chose to go here. When we got there, we were surprised to find out that menu isn't actually what they're serving. The menu online had Fall foods like Sweet Potato Pumpkin Soup and a Prosciutto Arugula flatbread listed... instead, we were given a menu that had things like Gazpacho and Fish Tacos on it... It's the end of October so why if they're so seasonal are they serving summer food?

#3 the food was not good. The salmon was overlooked, the asparagus that came with it was so thick it had zero flavor and the mashed potatoes had so much butter in them that they had a pool of butter surrounding them on my plate. The mushroom flatbread that we ordered was fine. Nothing to rave about but certainly should have been better considering usually ingredients are top quality at a farm-to-table restaurant.

The resort here is great but this restaurant (which was our only option on property for dinner) was NOT. I don't recommend this place. It's not seasonal, fresh, local or delicious. We should have just eaten at the sports bar across the street.

We come every Wednesday evening for burgers and usually one other day each week and we leave in the area. It is always great! This night they were off. The hostess kept apologizing for their lack of service, etc. Thanks.

Although we mentioned that we were in a hurry...we had a little over an hour...the waitress did not inform us that the kitchen was backed up and rarely visited our table. Our food came within 15 minutes of when we needed to leave for the airport. The food was very good but, having to choke it down left us feeling like we were being taken advantage of. I would have gladly had the waitress be honest with us and point us to something that could be prepared quickly...I thought a burger would fit that requirement....such a upsetting experience. We have visited the Hilton at Squaw Peak many times over the years and now I remember why we don't eat at Rico's!

Great modern menu in a very comfortable environment. Really enjoyed several breakfasts and dinners here. The team is so friendly and warm - amazing with our two young kids. Michael and Agate were 2 favorites but the entire team was awesome. Thank you for enhancing our stay in Phoenix. Nice to be able to find a great meal for a fair price on vacation! Many thanks!

The food was good even though we had to send back a salad with salmon cause the piece of salmon was so small and didn't taste very good. The service was poor at best. The waitress had no personality, barely spoke, and was very inattentive.

A great birthday celebration. I took my husband to Rico's American Grill to celebrate his Birthday. Our food was great and our waiter was very attentive he made sure we were well taken care of.. My husband got a free birthday dessert so he ordered the outrageous banana split he and my nephew share and they thought it was the best dessert you could ever have. 👍 for great time, dinner & atmosphere and the prices were just right.. Thank you Rico's for making our dinning experience a AWESOME Outting..

Breakfast buffet was good, fruit was very fresh and pancakes/French toast were very good. The muffins and banana bread were very moist and tasty. Eggs were not great and omelette was undercooked and runny. All-in-all good breakfast buffet, not great.

The bar menu is good and I strongly recommend the tacos. Great prices at the happy hour. The salad would be good if it was not swimming in the salad dressing. You can get the restaurant menu in the bar which gives some nice options.Service was very good.

The menu was very limited. Definitely not up to the atmosphere of the resort. I choose Rico's because we were staying at the Hilton Squaw Peak, having a summer getaway. The resort is upbeat and lively, while Rico's was just dead.

Considering this is attached to the Hilton I thought the prices were going to be outrageous. I was happy to see they were not and are your typical prices for eating out at a bar and grill. The sweet potato fries were delicious and so was my skirt steak. I loved the little dessert cups they offer so you can sample multiple items. Great staff! I would go back.

Took three people to open our wine. First, she had no idea how to use the waiter key. She plowed right through the wrap. Then tried to pull the cork through brut strength. Then called over server number two across the tables who couldn't do it either. She screwed the thing so far down the key couldn't have caught the side of the bottle ever. At some point we offers to help and showed them how to use the lever. To which one exclaimed "we are getting schooled tonight". But the cork was so beat up it broke in half. So they called a manager while telling us "we keep telling management we need wine training". Food is ok and some was really good. But it is hotel prices - be warned - for untrained servers.
